How to use 伤口

伤口 is the everyday word for a cut or wound on the body. It often appears with verbs like 处理 (chǔlǐ, to treat), 包扎 (bāozā, to bandage) and 愈合 (yùhé, to heal). Example: 你的伤口还疼吗？(Nǐ de shāngkǒu hái téng ma?) Does your wound still hurt?

伤口 (shāngkǒu) is 伤 (shāng, injury) plus 口 (kǒu, mouth or opening). A wound is an injury that opens the skin like a little mouth.

Common mistake: Learners sometimes use 伤口 as a verb meaning "to get hurt." 伤口 is only a noun. For the action, use 受伤 (shòushāng), as in 我受伤了 (wǒ shòushāng le), not 我伤口了.
